Until the Republicans decide to put someone forward who didn’t attempt to undermine the election, they aren’t serious.
Oh yeah, that’s not a problem. They were never serious.
I mean, arguably in the 50’s or something. But since Reagan it’s been a screeching clownwreck of disaster up until this very day.
January 20th, 1981 - the day American people were less important than oligarchs.
Were slaves considered Americans at the time? Might have to push the date back a little, I don’t think there was ever a time in the country’s history that people were more important than oligarchs.
Can you get off my nuts please? I really don’t feel like dialoguing with a racist.
Lol.
Afaik, Emmer is one of two reps in the group of 9 (now 8, after one guy pulled out of the nomination yesterday) that did not refuse to certify the AZ and PA electors in the 2020 election.
Edit: turns out he did sign the amicus brief encouraging the SC to throw the results though, which is essentially just as bad… yayyyyyyyy -_-
I think you’re both right. He did a lot to support the Texas vs Pennsylvania lawsuit to remove valid ballots, but he didn’t actually vote to do it. So he supported the overthrow of the election, he just didn’t follow through. How the scales balance after those 2 events, I leave up to you!
In the aftermath of the 2020 election, Tom Emmer, a leading Republican candidate to be speaker of the House, baselessly said there were “questionable” practices in the 2020 presidential election.
Later, Emmer signed an amicus brief in support of a last-ditch Texas lawsuit seeking to throw out the results in key swing states.
Though he would vote to certify the results on January 6, 2021, the comments and actions show Emmer flirted with some of the same election denial rhetoric as far-right members of the Republican caucus.
Ahhh. I didn’t realize he co-signed the amicus. That’s not good.
The devil is in the details! 👹
It always is!
I wonder if Jeffries decides he has has enough of this nonsense, and tells the entire Democratic Caucus to vote “present” just to get it over with. Then he can go to the cameras and talk about how the Republicans are so dysfunctional that they needed Democrats to help resolve their differences.
Because he’s forcing the GOP to get its shit together or collapse. And there’s genuinely nothing wrong with that.
The GOP is effectively using hostage tactics, and they have done for decades at this point. That’s all it appears they know how to do. Jeffries is refusing to negotiate with hostage takers, which is the correct course of action in the long run.
